AN ACCIDENT TO Col JOHN D. CAM
ERoN.
Says the Raleigh Ne,cs-Obserrer of
Thursday:
"wednesday, the streets being
very slippery, while Col. J, D. Cam
eron, of the Asheville CITIZEN, who
is here attending the opening of the
Legislature, was going up Fayette-
vile street, he had the misfortune
to slip and fall on the pavement
near Alfred Williams &; Co.'S book
store and break his right arm. The
injury was very painful. but did
keep the gallant Colonel from AZ,
pearing on the streets this mornitx;T.
The same paper says editorially !:
"We regret exceedingly the pain
full accident that has befallen Col.
Jno. D. Cameron, who has so long
served the people of the State effici1
emily and patriotically as principal
of the Honse of Representative and
through the columns of the State
press. We trust the injury is not
serious and that the recovery of our
highly esteemed friend will be
speedy. The State of North Caro-
lima has no lson more devoted to
her every interest than Col. Cam
eron."

SOMETHING HE FORGOT.

When Mr.. jenkins went to his bed
room at half-past one, it was with the
determination ofgoing to sleep, and with
another determination that he would not
be interviewed by Mrs. Jenkins. So, as
soon as he had entered the door, and de-
posted his lamp uponthe dressing-t tab. e,
he commenced his speech:
81 locked the front door, put the
chain on. pulled the key out little
bit. The dog is inside. I put the kitten
out. emptied the drip-pan of the re.
frigator. The cook took the silver to bed
with her. I put cane under the knob
of the back-hall door. put the fasten-
ings over the bath room windows. The
parlor fire has coal on. l did not drink
all the milk. It is not going to rain.
Nobody gave me any message for you. 1
mailed your letters as soon as / got down
town. Your mother did not call at the
Office. Nobody died that We are interes-
ted in. Did not hear of a marriage or
engagement. 4 was very busy at the of
fee making out bills. have hung my
clothes over chair-backs 1 want a new
egg for breakfast. I think that Is all,
and will now put out the light"
Mr.. Jenkins felt that he had hedged
against all inquiry, and a triumphant
smile was upon his face as he took hold
of the gas-check, and sighted line fol
the bed, when he was earthquaked bv &
ringing laugh, and the query from Ms
jenkins
"Why didn't you take off your hat !? ;

AN OFFICIAL CENSUS TO BE TAKEN
OF AsHEvILLE TOGETHER WITH
NUMBERING THE HOUSES BY THE
SOUTHERN DIRECTORY COMPANY.
At q meeting of the Board of Al1
dermen last Friday night the con-
tract was awarded the Southern Di-
rectory Company for taking COM
plete census of the city and num-
bering the houses. This was done
by the honorable Board in compli-
ance with the expressed desire of
our business men and citizens, with
the sanction of their own good
judgment and meets with hearty
approval on every hand. The Off
cial railway guide books Of the
north and west give Asheville a
population f2,616, according to the
last census of 1880, or about one
third of its present population.
The official census will correct
these wrong impressions abroad,
and give a correctly compiled
census, published in the valuble Di-
rectory Company are getting out for
this city.
The numbering of the houses is a
work of no less importance to the
city and will prove a convenience
which would in q short time have
been a necessity, and this company
do this work for less than half the
same would cost the city to have
the work done separately, ,and when
the population is larger. Hereto
fore, it has been almost impossible
for the tkousands of annual visitors
to find their way about the city, but
this enterprise will entirely do away
with such difficulties.
A large photo-lithograph map
will be placed in the front of their
book, together with a most accurate
and complete street directory. The
body of the book will contain the
name, color occupation, residence,
place of business, number, married
or single, over or under 20 years of
age and the streets and crossings
near the residence of every indiYid-
ual in the city. 1t will also con-
tain a neat card or advertisement
from nearly every business or pro-
fessional man, and larger displays
oninset colored pages from large
business firms,
This is an enterprise that will be
of almost incalculablevalue to Ashe
vile, and we are glad to know it is
meeting with such successful en-
cOurapement.

| STRANGE CHARACTER.

A STRANGE CHARACTER.
The following from the pen of Col. A..
T. Davidson treats of singular case.
Says Col. D:
"In the Fall of the year 1877 was at
Murphy Court, county of Cherokee,
Judge Furches presiding. A man by the
name of Terry Shelton was indicted and
charged with the murder of Thomas
Shelton (his brotheF.) Iappeared for
the prisoner. The deceased was shot IN
the forehead with a large ball, discharged
from an army pistol, died instantly.
There were but the two brothers, and
the defence was put upon the ground of
accident. There were was much testi-
mony by the State as to the manner OF
killing, motives, DC, and much by the
prisoner to show the want of motive, and
that the killing was purely accidental
The only witness to the transaction
was the mother of the two boys. While
she was greatly affected, and seemed tobe
laboring under great aff1iction, her tes-
timony showed clearly that the transac
ton was accidental; or at least left the
matter in such doubt that after alabored
and pains-taking trial, the prisoner was
acquitted.
The prisoner was then q young man +,
near six feet four inches high, with a
striking face, rather Roman nose, a flow
ing and healthy growth of hair, which
Lad been carefully kept during his i'm =
prisonment; and seemed then to be the
pride of his person. During the trial he
was self possessed, while not callous or
Indifferent, he demeaned himself as a
man of self.possession and nerve; he was
always clean in his dress, and entirely
submissive to the direction and control
of his counsel.
He was acquitted, and while his friends
in the Court room were congratulating
each other, the counsel and prisoner, he
seemed to be without feeling or emotion.
On motion of his counsel he was dis
charged without day.
l have never seen him since until this
morning, and OIL how changed. He is
without hair or beard, without eyebrow
or lash, entirely smooth; his skin and
flesh as tender as baby's, his health is
good, and as rule he demeans himself
as a sober and quiet man..
I learn that, without mental Or physi
cal suffering, his hair began to drop off
within six months, and without any
physical or chronic disorder he is in his
present condition. -
Queries: Is this a. case of physical
disorder, or case of Proyidential visi
tation to mark him as the slayer of his
brother. leave these questions for the
Scientists and Theologians.
